  • Pen Makers Choice Burl Pen Blank Collection

    Pen Makers Choice Burl Pen Blank Collection

    PHILLIP in TX

    Good burls, but unstable

    Take note that these burl blanks are NOT stabilized. The pack I received had 2 that were so brittle and warped I have yet to even attempt to make a pen from them as I'm sure they will blow apart as I turn it. The other 2 were great quality and in good shape for burls (IE: they held together fairly well and had no major cracks or splits). If you have a way to stabilize these blanks or want to go through the hassle of coating them with super glue between chisel passes you can get a good looking pen from them.

    Pen Makers Choice North American Pen Blank Collection

    PHILLIP in TX

    good variety, varied quality

    This is a good kit with a variety of wood, but as with any wood order made online be prepared for varied quality. I cautiously ordered this with that in mind and overall I'm satisfied with this pen blank pack. Anytime you order wood without first seeing it you can guarantee there will be mixed results. I rated this at 4 stars because for a "choice" blank collection, 2 of the pieces were of substandard quality in my opinion. Keep in mind though that this is my opinion and I do admit I have a a fairly rigid definition of a quality pen blank.

  • Pen Makers Choice Coffee Bean Pen Blanks

    Difficult to work

    The bean and matrix are well adhered, but the matrix is softer than the bean and the bean tears out taking matrix with it when turning. The problem is worst before the blank rounds out, but the problem continues the thinner the blank gets. I failed on three attempts to turn the blank. In the end I found success by roughly rounding the blank with a belt sander and finishing the job with increasingly finer sand paper. The matrix readily plugs up sand paper, but it can be done.

  • Turners Choice Assorted Project Blanks

    Turners Choice Assorted Project Blanks

    Jillian in CA

    These will make great pens

    I ordered the 3/4 inch by 2 1/2 inch. What I received was an unexpected pleasant surprise. My package was 28 pen blank sizes of wood 3/4 by 3/4 by 5 1/2. For under $6 this was the best buy ever. Some of the wood is a little plain but mixed in are a few very nice pieces. Most are not as nice as the ones pictured, though I haven't use it yet so some may polish up really nice. I will order this again.
